Nice Theo.

Glad you find it nice and smooth to drive. You'll have some fun at the drags I think. A programmable boost controller will take care of that drop off. Does the ECU have that function?

Are you still running off the AFM sensor? What Volts did you get up to?

Did you get a chance to over lay with my 3rd gear pull?

I'm curious about the AFM voltage also. Mine has peaked at 5.00v on the Informeter, so I wouldn't expect you'd go much higher than that.

No one wants to know about your 3rd gear pull Alex. :yucky:

I've seen your cars get up to 5.12v or maybe a bit higher

Can't remember whose pipe it was, but I was flogging it.

We all know I pull hard, Dale....

:P

FYP.

Was that with one of Scotty's suction pipes?

I don't think my version; being (16ish% smaller cross sectional area) will actually get there.

Edited by Daleo

farkin lol.

Ummm, I know Leons was up over 5 (5.02), as was Craigs(5.12) -both of them have intakes. Rudis was up there too(4.83), but didn't have an intake.

Another car with a highflow went 4.88v with no intake

I suspect 5.12 is the limit - I saw it maxed from 5800-6800rpm on Craigs on the nismo ECU. Obviously each sensor will have a discrepancy. I also think that each progression of the ECUs have different cut off points.

Now I'm lucky to see much over 4v... but thats with the upgraded MAF tuned in.

Nice Theo.

yeah still running the stock AFM, not sure of the voltage u'd have to ask.......

we did an overlay but because of the different diff ratio they where to different to match up.

i cant quiet make an accurate response on it yet but the gearbox is quiet different, like it still seems to shift quickly but it doesnt have the harshness like it used to so i dont know if its the same or slower................... my thoughts are if its softer its slower but i could be wrong. and we played with the gearbox settings on the ECU but couldn't really determine anything LOL

The timing drop between gears definitely works, it is just too late for the shift, as in it drops the timing after the gearbox has changed. It makes for a weird power drop after the shift. We zeroed it all out in the end. It is understandable when you think about it, as the Fcon has no idea what the gearbox is doing, so it must work off the revs dropping or something.

I changed to the Nulon fluid in mine, dropping the dextron III that Kewish put in there after the build. Surprising how much firmer it shifts, perhaps the Nulon is thinner filling the accumulators quicker? It positively thumps into second and third now causing all wheel chirps. :)

Less than a tenth separates the four runs! Congrats, very consistent Theo.

Did you try to vary anything to get a different (better) result? Were you able to get wheel spin at the start line or too grippy?

  • 3 weeks later...

finally took the car down to pedders for a check over here's the list:

Front lower control arm & Inner bush - rear bush splitting.

Inner tie rod end - RHS has free play.

Steering rack - mounts are worn.

Front swaybar links - LHS has free play.

Rear X member mounts - both fronts are soft.

time to give Craig and Dale some work LOL

  • 4 weeks later...

i'm still getting fault lights and havent been back to get it fixed, apparently he's booked out for 4 weeks in advance. dont want to blow the motor,

i'll probly come down for a little bit but yeah i wanna see some of bathurst and i have some work to do in the arvo aswell, bloody cashies LOL

also i need a fair few bushes replaced aswell after last texi still havent got round to it been way to busy!!!

OK any of the guys running F-Con's might be able to help me out and of course Scotty...........

i might aswell quote whats been said its a it easier, but any ways Alex did a cipher log on my car and then i passed on the details to Jez and the question is as follows:

Alex: "there seems to be a problem with the ECUs AFR correction, because it is cycling to each end of the ability to % correct. To my knowledge this is usually caused by the fueling map not being accurate enough in the low range/stoich range. You can try disconnecting the O2 sensor, and see how it drives, but let Jez know, and I'm sure he'll be able to touch it up a bit. If it gets really bad, just disconnect the HKS and run the stock ecu."

Jez: "Have u spoken to Scott? He mentioned that the f con is designed for 350z and the 02 sensors cant be used accurately or something along those lines. Have a chat to him but of course we can check it on the dyno or road with my wideband"

cheers Theo.

we done a data log and it got up to 4.8Volts could still go higher i guess didnt push it to hard.

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
